Depthboot: your Chromebook, your way

Choose between a variety of common Linux distributions and desktop environments to create a bootable image for any 64-bit Chromebook.

Due to licensing restraints, Depthboot cannot be distributed as an iso. Instead, it has to be build locally.

You can alternatively use EupneaOS which does offer prebuilt isos.

Depthboot vs mainline

(Mainline = stock, unmodified Linux distribution)

Mainline Linux:

  • Requires either replacing firmware completely(UEFI) or changing a part of it(rw_legacy). Not all devices have both options and there is a slight risk of bricking the Chromebook
  • Some hardware may not work(touchscreen, touchpad...)
  • Audio is mostly unsupported

Depthboot:

  • Requires no modifications to firmware
  • Hardware support matches ChromeOS
  • More audio support available

Credit

  • Depthboot is based on Breath by MilkyDeveloper. Breath was active from Apr 2021 until its archival in late Aug 2022.
  • All Eupnea Project icons were made by Inderix
